Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all examples, commands, and monitoring instructions using Windows tools (PowerShell cmdlets, Performance Monitor, etc.). There are no Linux/macOS SMB client examples, nor any mention of how to monitor or tune SMB performance from non-Windows clients. Windows terminology and tools are presented exclusively and first throughout, creating friction for Linux/macOS users wishing to optimize SMB performance with Azure NetApp Files.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent SMB performance tuning and monitoring instructions for Linux/macOS clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or FIO on Linux).
- Provide Linux/macOS command examples for checking SMB Multichannel, encryption, and signing status.
- Include guidance on relevant Linux kernel options (e.g., cifs.ko module parameters) for SMB performance.
- Mention Linux tools for network and SMB performance monitoring (e.g., iostat, nload, atop, Wireshark, etc.).
- Clarify which recommendations are Windows-only and which are applicable to all SMB clients.
